Fracking is headed to Maryland. The only way to stop it is to ban it.

Maryland has a de facto moratorium on fracking, but it could be lifted
anytime. Meanwhile, the industry is signing gas leases and state
regulators are reviewing permit applications. Maryland won't be safe
until it has a permanent ban on this toxic practice.

Tell the Maryland General Assembly: Ban fracking now. Click the link

Darden Restaurant Group, which owns Olive Garden, Red Lobster,
LongHorn Steakhouse and countless other chain restaurants, has about
180,000 employees working at its nearly 2,000 restaurants nationwide

And while the company's CEO makes $8.5 million each year, many of the
company's employees are paid just $2.13 per hour, forcing them to live
on the tips you voluntarily pay them at the end of your meal.

Workers cannot sustain a safe, decent standard of living in our
communities at $2.13 per hour. We stand up against this economic
injustice today.

I just signed a petition telling Darden to stop exploiting its workers
and pay tipped employees at least $5 per hour. Click on the link below
to find out more and sign the petition.

More than 140,000 acres in eastern Utah are already open to tar-sands strip mining, and regulators have permitted mining on nearly 6,000 acres; only an uphill court battle stands in the way of mining on the first of those lands.

Tar-sands mining would decimate wildlands, destroy sage grouse habitat and deplete and pollute Colorado River water desperately needed by endangered fish and millions of people. Once mining begins, it could catalyze a wildly inefficient cycle of energy and water use -- igniting a carbon bomb that will further dry the Colorado River, melt the Arctic and acidify our oceans.

Please take a moment to urge Gov. Herbert to abandon his disastrous tar-sands mining plans.

The EPA is considering rules that would legally allow polluters to "trade" pollution credits, allowing some people to pollute more, while outsourcing water pollution regulations to Wall Street.

Please join me in taking action to make sure the EPA keeps the Clean Water Act strong, and doesn't allow pollution trading.

The Center for Biological Diversity established the Rubber Dodo award in 2007 as a way to spotlight those who do their very best -- that is, their very worst -- to destroy wild places and drive species to extinction. The award, named after the most famous extinct species on Earth, is given out every year.
